Brief catchup: Adventure!

[kingandy]

Last night's game of Adventure! was good, if slightly different from games I've played before.  There's a definite feel that the players and the GM are competing, and I'm get the impression it's been some time since anyone really read the basic rules - we seem to be using a mish-mash of Exalted (10s count as two successes) and 2nd Ed WOD (soak is rolled instead of subtracted from damage), and I'm not certain the multiple actions rules are working as intended.  But whether "as written" or not, the rules were certainly consistent; the game ran quick and smooth and everybody had a great time, which is after all the point.  The most important rule in the book is "if you don't like it, change it" so as long as everybody's happy it doesn't really matter.

Things were certainly within the pulp idiom; in the middle of a three-way fight my character got annoyed with trying to figure out who was on whose side and just started lamping anyone dressed in black (yes, I'm being boring and playing Dirk "Rock" Hardy again).  He may have accidentally done enough damage with a single blow to murder one of the poor three-health-level extras.  Certainly several of them will require some not inconsiderable time in the hospital.  Whoops!

Adventure! is one of those games were it s genuinely acceptable t say "SOD THE RULES!" As long as it is consistent - any room for another player in say four/five weeks?

There's some kind of crazy game rotation system in effect that means A! will probably be going on hiatus about then ... that's just the regular Tuesday gamers at Fanboy3, though, I'm sure we could get another game going some time.

Infact if Chris wants to play I'm sure we can keep the group together and have a different GM and keep it going.

Yeah, I think I'd like to actually play Adventure! at some point.

I'm happy to run a game if you like.

Same cast, plus one?

You don;t need my permission to do that. But just in case. Granted!
